Profiles of Isoniazid and Rifampicin drug resistance conferring mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis among new and previously treated pulmonary tuberculosis cases from Kisumu County, Kenya
(East African Journal of Science, Technology and Innovation, 2022)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in developing countries and drug resistance remains a challenge. Drug resistance is hastened by point mutations in the bacilli ...
Mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis that Confers Resistance to First Line and Second Line Anti Tuberculosis agents in Western Kenya
(AJOL, 2022)
Tuberculosis drug resistance remains a global, regional as well as a national public
health concern, and is driven by point mutations in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome.
However, their frequencies vary geographically ...
Phenotypic Profiling of Selected Bacterial Microbes Isolated from Wounds of Diabetic Patients at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching & Referral Hospital, Kenya
(Journal of Advances in Microbiology, 2022-04-25)
To phenotypically profile selected bacteria microbes, determine antimicrobial resistance patterns and genetic diversity of resistant genes encoding extended spectrum β-lactamases in bacteria isolated from wounds of diabetes ...
Metagenomic Profiles of Bacterial communities and environmental factors associated with proliferation of malaria vector mosquitoes within the Kenyan Coast
(Microbiology Society, 2023-04-12)
Anopheles mosquitoes are the main malaria vector and as malaria cases decline in Sub Saharan Africa, there is a growing realisation that new interventions need to be added to complement the existing control strategies. To ...
Proteome profiling of Campylobacter jejuni 81-176 at 37° C and 42° C by label-free mass spectrometry
(Researchsquare, 2023-05-05)
Profiles of bacterial communities and environmental factors associated with proliferation of malaria vector mosquitoes within the Kenyan Coast
(Microbiology Society, 2023-08-01)
Since Anopheles mosquitoes which transmit and maintain the malaria parasite breed in the outdoor environment, there is an urgent need to manage these mosquito breeding sites. In order to elaborate more on the ecological ...
Characterization of Anopheles funestus Larval Habitats in Fiyoni, Kwale County, Kenya: Insights into Malaria Vector Ecology and Control
(2023-10-25)
The breeding of malaria-spreading vectors such as Anopheles funestus is influenced by various environmental
factors that contribute indirectly to the transmission of the Plasmodium parasite. However, there is limited ...
Antimicrobial Activities of Some Constituents Isolated from a Kenyan Medicinal Plant, Capparis fascicularis DC
(Hindawi, 2023-10-31)
Capparis fascicularis DC. is an indigenous medicinal plant belonging to the family Capparaceae found in Nyandarua County, Nairobi, Kenya, and many parts of Africa. It is a shrub whose roots are used traditionally to treat ...
Diversity and taxonomic revision of methanogens and other archaea in the intestinal tract of terrestrial arthropods
(Frontiers, 2023-11-11)
Methane emission by terrestrial invertebrates is restricted to millipedes, termites, cockroaches, and scarab beetles. The arthropod-associated archaea known to date belong to the orders Methanobacteriales, Methanomassiliicoccales, ...
Campylobacter in Africa – A specific viewpoint
(Akadémiai Kiadó, 2023-12-21)
Campylobacter infections and campylobacteriosis-associated post-infectious sequelae are a significant global health burden that needs to be addressed from a specific African perspective. We conducted a comprehensive ...
